Mid-Continent Public Library invites you to participate in fun, interactive mobile scavenger hunts presented throughout the year.
Hunters can earn points by completing “missions” that require the use of a mobile device. Missions will challenge you to answer questions and take photos or videos as evidence the missions have been completed.
What do I have to do to participate?
- Download the free GooseChase Apple or Android app onto your phone or tablet.
- Register for a personal account with a username and password of your choice.
- Search for the name of the MCPL scavenger hunt you would like to participate in and follow the prompts.
You will not be able to see the list of missions until the first day of the scavenger hunt event, but you can sign up any time before or during the hunt.
Who can participate?
This scavenger hunt is intended for individuals who are over the age of 13 and have access to a smartphone or tablet. While this activity is intended for MCPL customers, anyone can participate.

Virtual Scavenger Hunt FAQs and Rules
Do I have to have an MCPL Access Pass (Library card)?
Most missions don’t require a Mid-Continent Public Library Access Pass (Library card), but several do.

Please keep this in mind and make sure content you post is viewable by a wide range of people. We reserve the right to remove any posts that are not family friendly, and mission-completed removals will delete points associated with that mission.
